Leader Schumer Demands Transparency After Trump Announces Iran Deal

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement after Donald Trump announced that he has reached a deal with Iran to end his war:

"Senate Democrats have been unwavering in calling for an immediate end to Trump's Iran war.

"We've been told dozens of times that the war is over. Dozens of times, we have been left disappointed.

"The American people deserve details and full transparency - what exactly is in this "understanding"? Will servicemembers remain in harm's way?

"And what have we actually gained here from Trump's war?

"The regime is more radical than the previous one.

"The Strait of Hormuz is under greater Iranian control now than before the war began.

"The cost of gasoline remains much too high.

"Trump must release the details publicly, brief Congress immediately, and end this war for good."
